House on Terraced Landscape

House on Terraced Landscape is conceived as a set of interrelated elements, articulated through three roofs that come together as a single residential unit. These roofs rest on old stone walls of historic character that structure the garden, allowing — through their layout and spatial relationship — an integrated experience between the house and the landscape.

The organization of the different elements draws the site’s own climate into the interior spaces, blurring the line between inside and outside. The project proposes a way of living in direct relationship with the garden, preserving its topography, existing vegetation and materiality.

The material approach is resolved through pigmented concrete roofs in beige tones, allowing the new elements to blend visually into the landscape and echo the tone of the existing walls and terrain. The roofs emerge as horizontal planes in dialogue with the topography, reinforcing the sense of an architecture settled into the land itself.

The garden keeps its natural topography largely untouched, becoming the main support for the intervention.

The pool sits on one of the terraces, woven into the material continuity of the intervention and reinforcing the relationship between architecture, landscape and topography.

House with three gestures

The house integrates drywall partitions with the existing structure of three concrete columns and beams.
In the relationship between the partitions and the structure—as well as among the partitions themselves—spaces are defined
through three distinct gestures, one per column.

These gestures create spatial divisions on the floor plan that
come together in a narrative of continuous spaces, guiding the home’s occupants
seamlessly from one room to the next. To emphasize the spatial divisions and the continuity
of the structure, the partitions do not visually touch the floor slab; rather, they remain at the level of the beam, and their
connection to the slab is achieved through a recessed box.

The partitions allow for the placement
of large-format artwork and the arrangement of furniture to accommodate the home’s layout.
